So I bought a Curve 8320 and it was Titanium, but only $300 so I couldn't say no. I had wanted gold ten times more, so I bought the whole gold casing. It came in the mail today and I was so excited I just went at it lol.
After finishing disassembly and reassembly with the gold casing something seems very wrong. The sides wont click in all the way, the keypad seems a bit too low on top (i.e. the QWERTY row is dipped in the holes a bit too far, it should be poking out more) and the buttons (call, blackberry, return and end) & trackball are also too dipped in. I've tried taking it apart 2 more times and reassembling it, I even tried to reassemble it with the original accessories and it was the same issue!
I've pushed everything down, screwed it all on tightly etc. It is bugging the CRAP out of me and I feel like I'm going to cry I'm so mad! Has this happened to anyone?
Please help
**i used the disassembly videos on youtube to disassemble it**
Personally I don't have the marbles to take apart my baby, but I found this link on vtap that may help.Blackberry Curve 8300 Screen Removal & Take Apart
Technically it's a screen removal & take apart, but it shows how everything comes apart. Maybe it's something small that you're overlooking? Anyways, hope that helps.
